St.Barnabas and St.Simon Stock will not be reopening in the fall. Not sure if there are any left?

That would leave Cardinal Hayes, Mt. St. Michael, All Hollows and Monsignor Scanlon (all male) along with Cardinal Spellman and St. Helena's (both Co-Ed) still standing. Am I missing any? St. Ann's Parish had a grammar school, closed in 2017, merged with St. Brendan's. Now St. Brendan's & Ann's Parish has ceased grammar school as well. Changing times!

Holy Spirit.......................I attended elementary school PS 26 on University and Andrews Avenue and the Catholic students were excused one day a week for time to go to Holy Spirit which was across the street. I heard it was closing

Barbara Holy Spirit school has been closed for quite some time now and is some sort or school for social justice. A few years back a few alumni approached the Parish Monsignor about having a mass said in the church followed by a reunion in the school gym/auditorium and they were roundly rebuffed and admonished by the Monsignor for not having been financially supportive of the school to prevent its closing. I'm sure if he'd been more receptive and carried through on the idea the alumni certainly would have made a generous donation to the church. He could have fostered a sizeable pool of alumni for future charitable donations for years to come, what a waste opportunity. Anyhow the reunion was held at a venue on McLean Avenue in Yonkers and a good time had by all.

Richard, I was referring to the Catholic schools in the Bronx that are still open.

Then I wasn't mistaken. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember reading that it closed but when I saw the list of closures and it wasn't on it, I figured I mixed it up with another school. I hope the Bronxboard doesn't go the way of Manhattan and Queens. Reunions are just one part of it.......there's so much on this board........I know about the other Bronx related boards, but this is so rich in content........so many categories and photos too.

It is very sad to see all the school closings. My school was St Helena for 12 years. It is now called Msgr Scanlan HS and it is still going very strong. Each year we get a report of all the list of former students who send money to keep it going. I'm sure it has many good years ahead. In fact in 2023 one of my classmates,a 1959 graduate, left $ 500,000. to the school in his will. He died in 2023.
